Andrea Sams

Licensed Professional Counselor

It's a great time to explore how to move beyond your pain and losses as you jump start your growth this year and beyond. I am a fully licensed psychotherapist and a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist. I have a private practice in Houston, Texas near the Cypress area. Being a wife for over 18 years and a mother, I understand that challenges may come as we strive to balance our lives in the midst of grief, stress and relationship issues. I would provide a supportive and warm space even through online counseling as I give you guidance towards your goals. I offer a customized treatment plan for issues such as grief from various losses, depression, anxiety, early childhood trauma, symptoms of codependency and co-occurring disorders with stabilized addiction.

I have several years of post-masters experience in mental health and substance abuse counseling. Among my areas of expertise are providing solutions for developing healthy self-esteem, recovering from history of trauma and loss, and managing symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.

I am an interactive therapist who works along side each client to achieve his/her goals. My therapeutic approach provides support and practical feedback for effectively addressing personal life challenges. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

I have been a devoted Christian for over 23 years and I enjoy integrating Christian principles when any individual desires to have this as part of their treatment. See below for more background information.

I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. You can find more information about me and informative pages on recovery on my website link in this profile.

Rates & Insurance

Breakthrough has not yet partnered with all insurance companies, but you or the therapist you select may contact your insurer about covering your online care. We strive to accept all insurers but we can not guarantee coverage.

If you receive care on Breakthrough but your insurer declines coverage, you will be billed at the therapist's self-pay rate.

If you can not find a therapist who accepts your insurance, call us at 1-888-282-2522 and we will try to find a therapist who can see you.

If you are in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, a free, 24-hour hotline, at 1.800.273.8255. If your issue is an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Breakthrough does not offer crisis counseling or emergency services.
